RESUMO
Preeclampsia-eclampsia syndrome (PES) is associated with severe obstetric complications and there are no efficient methods available for an early detection. We studied blood concentration of some immunological and metabolic markers in association with obstetric outcome in healthy pregnant women and patients with obstetric risk factors, by ELISA and biochemical tests. Patients with complications showed higher levels of CRP and C4 positively correlated with Triglycerides and Cholesterol concentrations. Our results provide evidence that Immunological and metabolic alterations contribute to obstetric complications and that biomarkers linked to these alterations could be useful for an early detection of these problems.

Presentamos una paciente de 62 años de edad que ingresa por cefalea, alteraciones conductuales, síndrome tónico-frontal simétrico y síndrome cerebeloso de dos meses de evolución asociado a hiponatremia crónica severa. Se plantea el diagnóstico de síndrome de secreción inadecuada de hormona antidiurética (ADH) secundario a hidrocefalia normotensiva del adulto, presentando clara mejoría con la derivación ventrículo-peritoneal. Este caso pretende aportar información sobre una asociación descrita pero poco frecuente.
We present a 62-year-old patient presenting with a two-month episode of headaches, disrupted behavior, symmetric tonic frontal syndrome and cerebellar syndrome associated with severe chronic hyponaetremia. The diagnosis upon admission was an inadequate anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) secretion syndrome secondary to normotensive hydrocephalus of the adult, clearly improving after the ventricular-peritoneal shunt. This case provides information on a rarely reported association.
